Purpose

A GIS Managed Service is a
cloud hosted IT architecture which provides spatial intelligence,
applications, and maps to users across the Council, underpinning
many important and some statutory functions, and embedding spatial
data, maps and services into other Council systems.

seek approval to commission a new 3 year
contract for a GIS Managed Service and associated GIS software
licensing commencing 23rd February 2025 - 22nd February 2028, with
a budget of £695,000.
